What Did You Drink Last Night?

Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond Bourbon ... with Ginger Snaps.

Ginger snaps have a very earthy flavor that I can see working well with bourbon. Never thought of it, but I can see those two flavors playing off each other in a good way. Ginger snaps feel like a real throwback food / a cookie out of the 1900s - something your great grandmother would understand. While sweet, they are not cloying like most package cookies are today and they have a touch of a bite. Heck, now I've talked myself into wanting to try them with bourbon.

I just saw a few folks talking about Bombay sapphire, any other gins I should look into? No one I know cares for gin, so I'm a bit lost. I just started with Seagrams, because I didn't know if I'd like gin at all. I seem to like it, but would like something with a bit more flavor. Seagrams was a bit overwhelmed by vermouth, and I wouldn't mind something flavorful enough to drink on the rocks.

I like Bombay Sapphire (as stated above), Deaths Door, Green Hat, And Junipero. I have heard a lot of people like Hendricks, but I find it doesn't agree with me.

Now that you mention this, Bulleit is distilled from Kentucky limestone water for a distinctive taste; though my plebeian palate is easily satiated,
ginger snaps that dovetail hot java can ditto bourbon. One size fits all.:)

Enjoying the last of Granite City's Gold Fever Strong Belgian Ale, a seasonal favorite of mine. Next wk they will be tapping a Pilsner, nothing special to me.

Ever see such a pretty picture?

I haven't had a beer in 4 weeks. Don't get me wrong, I've had plenty of vodka it's it's absence. One that I particularly like, this Buffalo Grass, with sparkling water and a slice of lime. The vodka has a super earthy flavor. I really like it!
